provider of counter-terrorism consulting and training services,
reported today that it has received a purchase order for its
5-agent biological detection equipment from Boeing Service Company,
a fully owned subsidiary of Boeing Defense. The detection equipment
is designed to check for anthrax, ricin, botulinum, Y. Pestis
(plague) and SEB's in as little as three minutes.
Boeing Service Company (BSC) is a fully-owned subsidiary of
Boeing Defense, Space & Security, with approximately 1,500
people around the world working to successfully maintain and
sustain customer communication and data systems. BSC's programs
vary from tasking and tracking communication and global positioning
satellites to readying payloads for rocket launch to building and
maintaining classified government facilities.
UNDT's biodetection equipment has been extensively used by first
responders and private industry throughout the country. The
equipment has been evaluated by the U.S. DOD as well as the United
Kingdom military. The equipment's capacities include:
- No cross-reactivity with near neighbor strains
- No cross-reactivity to household powders
- No set up time
- No expensive reader needed
- No decontamination requirements
- No false positives
- No false negatives
- No hook effect
"With last year's recognition from the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security as an 'Approved Product for Homeland Security'
under the SAFETY Act, UNDT's 5-agent biodetection kit has been a
key choice in biothreat security for a number of large companies
like Boeing Service Company," said Jacques Tizabi, Universal
Detection Technology CEO. "UNDT's 5-agent biodetection kit is a
fast and reliable on-site test of harmful bioagents that can
threaten the operations of any corporate facility," continued
Tizabi.
